Earshot

Things I can hear from the bedroom right now: Carnatic music on the radio, a mullah reading his prayers over a PA system, the spiraling notes of a koel's song, the sound of a sweeper's broom rubbing against tar and concrete, bicycle bells, dogs playing, a car alarm and spoons clinking inside tea-cups.

And I kid you not: the other day, I opened a window and heard bhajans, ghazals and some really loud 70s-era country music at 7PM. (I suppose mariachi and polka lovers have left India for good?)
